Valve Announces Artifact Release Date

Artifact, the Dota 2 influenced digital collectible card game from Valve, is set to release on Steam November 28, 2018 for PC, MacOS and Linux, and later in 2019 for iOS and Android devices.

The base game will cost $20, and offers more than 280 cards in its shipping set. Players will also be able to buy and sell their cards on the Steam Community Marketplace.

Artifact will be playable by attendees of this year's PAX West in Seattle, which runs from August 31 to September 3. At PAX, players can battle each other over a continuous, single-elimination gauntlet in order to win the right to challenge a champion on the main stage. Each participant can earn Artifact merchandise, like signed prints of artwork and two keys for free copies of the game when it's released in November.
